Delivery Confirmation From: Flourish and Blotts Bookseller 1454 North Side Diagon Alley, London, England
To: maxima ruqayyah greyback Fifth Year, Slytherin House Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
One copy of The Healer’s Helpmate by H. Pollingtonious. Thank you for shopping with us for all of your magical book needs.
[There is a small folded up paper sticking out of the top of the book.] Dear Little Greyback Girl,
You’re one of Uncle’s! Imagine that. I knew there were a few dozen of you wandering around the world but never would have expected to practically be handed your name while doing work. Funny how things happen like that.
Don’t try and wrack your brains figuring out if we’ve met before. We haven’t. I’m just one of many cousins you probably didn’t know you had. I guess the same goes with siblings for you too doesn’t it? Uncle does get his way around a lot. At least that’s what mum always says.
Have fun with your little self-help book!

Mina,
A few dozen? I only know of five siblings. Since you seem to know more about my our family than I do, you probably know that one of them is the Durmstrang Champion in the Triwizard Tournament.
I didn't know that I had an aunt on my father's side, either. You're not yanking my wand, are you?

maxima ruqayyah greyback , Oh who knows how many are out there. Simply a guess. At least you know of a few. Big families are fun. I’m one of the unlucky ones stuck right in the middle around the other five though. We’re probably similar, not getting too much attention from our parents. I’m sure Uncle didn’t stick around too long did he? Haven’t really paid much attention to the tournament, though my older sister, Callisto, works for the department running it. You could always talk to her if you can find her wandering around the school. She’s kind of a pencil pusher sometimes, so you can’t miss her. Oh! Definitely run up and give her a hug. She loves hugs. You also don’t know how many siblings you have either. Next time you see him, you should ask.

Mina,
My mum raised me with my stepdad, and I’ve got two younger half-siblings through them, too. Your ‘Uncle’ isn’t in my life. He obviously doesn’t want to be. You should talk to him about that and ask him why he chose to spare me.
- Max
P.S. I’ve never heard of a Callisto, but I don’t think I will be hugging her. Call me a sceptic, but I don’t know if you are who you say you are or what you’re playing at. Are you organising a family reunion?

maxima ruqayyah greyback , Sounds like a lovely little family. I’m envious. Don’t worry, Uncle isn’t in our lives either. We’re kind of traitors to his cause or something. I don’t really pay attention to the details. If it makes you feel better, he spared Callisto too after he turned the two oldest siblings into wolves. I wasn’t around yet, but hey, guess some of us get lucky. Not that there’s anything against being a wolf, it’s just not made for everyone, myself included. It’s okay if you haven’t heard of Callisto, she’s really not that personable. The hug thing was a joke, she probably would have killed you. Metaphorically speaking of course, though giving you the death stare isn’t out of the realm of possibilities. She likes doing that to me. What are sisters for though? A family reunion sounds delightful. Thanks for the idea! Callisto would probably back out and Koda (he’s the oldest. He’s a professional Quidditch player) has work I’m sure. The rest are pretty busy too…but I’m always free! It’s okay if you don’t want to meet. Just thought it would be fun to see my little cousin, that’s all.

Mina, So most of you aren't werewolves? Speaking of sisters, Jamie is the only one of mine who is. Out of all of my half-siblings, I'm closest to her, I guess. She's two years older than I am, but both her and my best friend are in Hufflepuff. The hugging bit is sort of Jamie's thing. Not mine.Even though Christmas is over, we've still got our Christmas holidays. With the Aurors around, I'm not sure when we could meet , but there are passages out of the school. What's your schedule like? - Max mina pandora oliveira

maxima ruqayyah greyback , Nope! Like I said, just the oldest two. It’s fun having them get all wolfy every month. I’d never go through with that though. I like my freedom. Awwww Puffs! I miss messing with them. I was a sneaky little snake, always getting in trouble. Still am actually, because why quit when you’re young? What house are you in little Max? I just need to talk to the boss man and he gives me days off when I want. Do they not do Hogsmeade trips anymore? I’m a little out of the loop about the happenings at Hogwarts. Was in America for the past two years.

Mina,
I don't envy that, either. I could probably tolerate it, but I want to become a Healer, and that would get dangerous, I think.
I'm in Slytherin. I know I wrote it on my form for the book. (Owls usually find people regardless, I know.)
They haven't cancelled Hogsmeade weekends, though I'm not sure when our next one is. Where were you in America? My best friend is from South Carolina.
- Max
P.S. Don't call me 'little'.

maxima ruqayyah greyback , Being a werewolf and a Healer wouldn’t hold you back. Dakoda, the oldest, works part-time at the hospital and he’s one. Definitely possible. Eww. Giving advice grosses me out. Makes me seem responsible. Silly me, it was wasn’t it? To be honest, I only looked at the money and the book you needed. Luckily that last name caught my attention. Slytherin is the only way to go in my opinion. Lots of fun stuff to talk about with the rest of the snakes. Some of them are really creepy though, I doubt that’s changed in the last few years. Good. We’ll find a date that works for both of us. And bring that sister of yours too. She sounds like the type that will follow regardless. Puffs tend to do that. And I was in the south mostly, not South Carolina though. Mainly Louisiana and then down into Mexico and South America. Fun times. P.S. You are little. Your order form also says you’re a fifth year. That means you were either a first or second year when I was graduating. You’re still an itty bitty snake as far as I’m concerned.

Mina,
I didn't need advice. Thanks anyway.
The people in Slytherin haven't changed. There are still a few first years who think that they know better than everyone else, but they learn. The girls in seventh year are the worst. There's a whole group of them; people call them the Hexen. One of my roommates is part of that group, too, but she isn't so bad.
I haven't told Jamie about our letters yet, but she will probably follow me. She isn't a bother. Just happy.
Did you celebrate Thanksgiving in America? Georgie and her brother had Thanksgiving in the Great Hall. It was fun.
- Max
P.S. Fine. You win.

maxima ruqayyah greyback , Oh good, because I’m not good at the whole life choices or career advice thing. That’s why I work at a bookstore. Now if it’s how to have a good time or get whoever you want to sleep with you, that I can help with. Figured they hadn’t. The little snakes are always annoying. I wonder if those “Hexens” are the ones I’m thinking of. Probably. Their little clique was silly. I’m more of the loner type when it comes to causing trouble. I don’t play well with the other kids. Happy is lovely. Merlin knows we need a couple crazies out there to be happy all the time for the rest of us. Thanksgiving? I think I recall that a little. Lots of food, yeah? Then again, Americans like to eat more in general, so maybe I’m thinking of other things. I might have been in Mexico during that though. P.S. I like to get my way. Nothing personal.

Mina,
I don't need help with that, either. (Ever. I'm asexual.)
Most of the Hexen are in their seventh year. They've been annoying since forever, but the two Weasley girls (Ondina and Lucy) are possibly the worst.
We've got Aurors here now because of the attacks last year. (I think I mentioned them before.) I don't really cause trouble. I never have.
No, happy isn't bad. I just don't think that I'm a very happy person. That might be why my closest sister and best friend are both in Hufflepuff. (Maybe I was in Hufflepuff in another life?)
Georgie talks about what her life was like when she lived in South Carolina sometimes. She usually mentions food. I don't know much about Mexico, though it looks nice.

maxima ruqayyah greyback , I couldn’t do that. That's pretty impressive. I kind of like being touchy feely with people. It’s good for the soul. Mostly mine. Eww. That means they’ll out in the wild in a few months and I’ll have to deal with them again. Hopefully they all get into a potions accident before then or something. Turning that frown upside down is the first place to start. Puffs are pretty good at making people happy. In more ways than one. Mexico is brilliant. Hot, but brilliant. You and your friend Georgie should go once you graduate. Go back to her hometown or whatever and then Mexico. So sometime in January I’ll get a day off, yeah? They still let you crazy animals into Hogsmeade on the weekends right?
